LCK CL, 2026-05-01. The matchup was Kiwoom DRX Challengers against T1 Esports Academy, and the result was a win for Kiwoom DRX Challengers. The two teams combined for 45 kills, so this was a fight-heavy game. Over 36:01 of play, that many kills means the KDA below reflects teamfight participation more than lane advantage. The total gold gap was only 34, so resources alone did not decide this game. T1 Esports Academy finished narrowly ahead, and in games like this a single objective or a single fight is usually what settles it. On objectives, Dragons split 4 to 1, and T1 Esports Academy took the larger share.

A KDA of 9/5/9 is what Winner recorded on Pantheon, the strongest line among the winners. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Top: Haetae ahead of Frog by 2,694. Varus was the first champion Kiwoom DRX Challengers removed, while the opening ban from T1 Esports Academy was Orianna. This is game 2 of a 2-game series, played on patch 16.8.
